i will say that on the optimism front, can anyone imagine during the kennedy-nixon debates that we would all be watching it with twitter, that there would be fact checking, that there would be conversations going on? hearing him on the radio, he sounds a lot better. or anything like that. i think this is a great time for political coverage, and i hope that that turns out to be true in the next few weeks and that we do not instead see some degraded moments of politics, but i think it is going to be fascinating. >> thank you. do you want to pick up? anna? >> i am, again, anna sale, and i think what is most prominent is what we think about is who is winning, and thirdly, where is the race taking place, and that is what we are looking at, swing states, and that is where a lot of my reporting has been at over the last six months. we are clearly -- radio. voter voices is a big driver of how we want to cover the election, so we started a series this summer called "that is my issue," and with that, we are hearing what the candidates are focusing on, trying to get people to not just think about t

kennedy/nixon was the game changer in debate history. people that listened to it thought nixon won on radio but on television, john f. kennedy won. nobody was that happy with the debates. we had no debates in '64 '68 '72. came back in 1976 when jimmy carter ended up doing well because of gerald ford's famous gaffe. that's the big question. can you become gaffe-free? everybody is going to be looking wednesday night to see if there was a mistake made by either person. it puts a lot of pressure on the candidates. >> jennifer: you mention nixon and kennedy and those who saw the debate felt like kennedy won. what do you think is more important? what the candidates say or how they say it? >> i think it's how they say it. to be honest with you talk about the kennedy/nixon debates we all had visuals. what was the difference between kennedy and nixon? a little bit of a difference on cuba policy. little bit on how to win the cold war. but none of us remember what we remember is the visual of john f. kennedy looking dashing and handsome and nixon n

>> reporter: during the first ever televised debate richard nixon chose to wear no makeup. with the 5:00 shadow he looked sweaty and uncomfortable compared to the tan, relaxed, john f. kennedy. doctors in this debate in 2007 heard the impatient sighs of vice president al gore picked up clearly by the microphones while george w. bush was talking. both played into a larger narrative of the campaigns by reinforcing what others thought about the candidates. >> when gore sighed endlessly and moaned during the debate and we saw that on television, it emphasized the idea that he was arrogant and condescending, something people were already concerned about. when nixon was sweating, there was so sense that he was already shifty and there was an anxiety in his soul as well as his body. >> reporter: in later debate gore appeared to invade the personal space of bush, a move which made him look awkward compared to his relaxed opponent. in 1992 george h.w. bush was caught twice by cameras glancing at his watch during a town hall deb bet by voters we enforced that he was disengaged and un
